Hepatitis C virus antibody and hepatitis C viremia in pediatric dialysis patients in Taiwan.

Hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C in Taiwan.

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been associated with hepatic steatosis. However, the role of hepatic steatosis in the pathogenesis of HCV infection remains controversial. In our study, 425 consecutive HCV-viremic patients with biopsy-proven chronic hepatitis C (male, 264; mean age, 49.0 years) were enrolled. Scoring of hepatic steatosis was based on the method described by Kleiner and on ...

Eliminating Impedance Mismatch in C++

Recently, the C and the VISUAL BASIC communities were tantalized by the advent of LINQ [18]—the Language INtegrated Query technology from Microsoft. LINQ represents a set of language extensions relying on advanced (some say hard to understand) techniques drawn from functional languages such as type inference, λexpressions and most importantly, monads. The 3 edition of C just as the 9 of VISUAL ...

Detection of Pre-treatment mutations leading to resistance to direct hepatitis C virus blocking drugs in patients with chronic hepatitis C

Background and objective: Human is the only host of hepatitis C virus. This virus has a positive single stranded RNA and lipoprotein envelop that has 7 confirmed genotypes. According to studies, genotypes 1a, 3a and 1b are the most common genotypes in Iran. No effective vaccine against HCV infection has been developed instead, advances in antiviral treatment using drugs that directly affect spe...

Cryoglobulinemia in patients with hepatitis C

Introduction: Cryoglobulinemia is a kind of immunoglobuline that form in various conditions. These imunoglobulines, precipitate in cold environment and restore to soluble state upon rewarming. Nowadays, strong association between cryoglobulines and hepatitis C has been proposed. Methods: This is a descriptive-analytic study in which we included all documented cases of hepatitis C infection wh...
